SNAPPER Ioan Said was exposed as the best wedding photographer in North Wales.

Ioan, 35, runs Celynnen Photography in Wrexham.

Celynnen was nominated for the Welsh National Wedding Awards by several happy couples.

He captures up to 30 weddings every year – from big family events with hundreds of guests at top hotels to intimate civil partnerships at registry offices.

Ioan said: “Weddings are special and magical times in peoples lives.

“It is an honour and a privilege to be with the couple at those special and intimate moments.

“As their wedding photographer you get to be involved in the really personal things like capturing a bride putting her veil on or a groom’s expression at the altar when he sees his wife-to-be walking up the aisle to meet him.”

He added: “I was thrilled to win this award because it’s my clients who’ve put me forward for this and they are the people whose opinion counts most.”
